I have never felt such frustration
Or lack of self control
I want you to kill me
And dig me under
I want to live no more

One who doesn't care
is one who shouldn't be
I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me
For me

I want to taste dirty
a stinging pistol
In my mouth, on my tongue
I want you to scrape me from the walls
And go crazy
like you've made me

One who doesn't care
is one who shouldn't be
I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me

One who doesn't care
is one who shouldn't be
I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me, for me

You, you are so special
You have the talent
to make me feel like dirt
And you, you use your talent
to dig me under
And cover me with dirt

One who doesn't care
is one who shouldn't be
I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me

One who doesn't care
is one who shouldn't be
I've tried to hide myself from what is wrong for me

    This song is far better than any lamentation written in the Bible.

    This is a lament from the heart, a heart about to sputter out.

    This is may be one of the best songs ever penned.
